Generating e-Way Bills faster using Tally.ERP 9

For many businesses, generating e-Way Bills is now mandatory in addition to their routine activities. Businesses need to generate e-Way Bills faster and correctly for overall efficiency.

Businesses such as distributors of machinery, electrical equipment, consumer durables, wholesalers and manufacturers who dispatch goods in bulk will find it handy to generate an e-Way Bill right at the time of creating the invoice.

Keeping this in view, at the time of creating the invoice after you have provided all the invoice level details, Tally.ERP 9 opens an additional form where you can provide transportation and other details required for generating e-Way Bill.

On the other hand, a business involved in dispatching small quantities of goods such as FMCG distributors will find it a hindrance to generate e-Way Bills for every transaction. They will prefer to generate e-Way Bills in bulk since they dispatch goods for multiple orders at the same time.

In such a case, you can disable the e-Way Bill form in Tally.ERP 9 when creating sales invoices. When you are ready to dispatch goods, you can see all the transactions for which e-Way Bills are yet to be generated. You can select them all together and export them as a single JSON file which can be uploaded on the e-Way Bill portal. The portal will generate e-Way Bills for all these invoices in a single click.

Errors can take place when entering data. Tally.ERP 9 has inbuilt capability to check for such errors.In the absence of any mandatory detail such as distance, vehicle number, pin codes of consignee and consignor, and so on, Tally.ERP 9 will not allow you to export the JSON file for the purpose of generating e-Way Bill.

Due to all these inbuilt checks, the chances of your JSON file getting rejected in the e-Way Bill portal is minimized. Generation of e-Way Bills will be faster and accurate.

In case of Multiple Invoices generated to same party ( Like few Customers ask separate bill each of their Purchase Order’s ) Like Rs. 35,250.00 & 26,300.00, e-way bill option not get popped up and Our Logistic People missed out in such cases. How we may tackle this issue.

Dear sir, today I upgraded to tally erp 9.6.4.1 and was happy with automatic calculation of the roundoff. Thanks a lot.There is one minus point in eway bill section. When invoice amount is less than 50000.00 provide GST/ eway bill details yes/no do not pop up but when invoice value exceeds 50000.00 pop up come though km is 1-10 km.In F11, statutory and taxation, set/alter Gst detail as there is a ewaybill threshold of 50000 there should be a threshold for kns also, so that when invoice exceeds 50000 but threshold limit is 10,12,50 whatever, popup should not come.Or threshold km limit should be added in party ledger. Thanks.

Respected Sir,we are doing wholesale business orders are taken by phone and materials dispatch from manufacturing company to direct sub dealers or Consumers how to i generate E Waybill and invoice copies in this situation

Currently e-Way bill is applicable only in Karnataka for intrastate, rest all interstate. So in case you are transporting within the state, in any state other than karnataka then it is not required. Soon it will be applicable in 5 more states.
